Trump: ‘Iran is playing with fire, I won’t be as kind as Obama’

US President Donald Trump has tweeted that “Iran is playing with fire,” and warned Tehran that he won’t be as “kind” as former President Barack Obama. His comments come after Tehran’s missile test this week.

Iran is playing with fire – they don’t appreciate how “kind” President Obama was to them. Not me!

Javad Zarif on Twitter

Iran unmoved by threats as we derive security from our people. We’ll never initiate war, but we can only rely on our own means of defense. https://t.co/TxlSEL8rjj
